Terminal title is not reset after exiting IPython

See original GitHub issue

By default, IPython changes the terminal title to IPython: {cwd}. However, this change is not reset to the original terminal title after exiting IPython (I’m on macOS High Sierra).

Here’s the output of IPython.sys_info():

{'commit_hash': 'd86648c5d',

I’d still vote for changing the default to c.TerminalInteractiveShell.term_title = False given that the title can’t be easily reset.

Actually, Vim does reset it by pushing and restoring it afterwards
